The office market continues to see rentals decline, prompting several established tenants to relocate from Grade A buildings to Grade A+ quality over the upcoming quarters. This has placed pressure on rents and exacerbated the pursuit by upcoming and newer buildings to secure tenants, as buildings vie to backfill vacancies. Knight Frank projects that average office rents will continue on its path of decline, before bottoming out in 2018. Amid a toughening retail climate, average Orchard Road prime rents have been weakening with rents in the Central Region and more resilient prime rents expected to moderate further by end 2016, to take a hit on island-wide occupancy. Escalating competition from e-commerce markets and increasingly discerning consumers are also challenging landlords to review their mall repositioning and the way retail business is being conducted, to provide engaging, quality services to preserve customer loyalty.

Following the recent ease in cooling measures, home owners need only wait 3 years instead of 4 years from the date of purchase before selling their properties, in order to avoid paying seller’s stamp duties (SSD). The announcement offers a glimmer of hope in a season of worry, and is set to improve sentiments amongst buyers. On the flipside, the introduction of the Additional Conveyance Duty (ACD) now imposes a further 15% levy atop prevailing share duty taxes, for shares transferred between property-owning companies, and thus the development’s remaining units. Developers are now caught in a bind, already facing pressure to offload unsold units within a given time frame to avoid incurring additional charges. With fewer options on the table, the effects are expected to ripple through the market. In the private residential market, average resale prices across all fell on a year- on-year basis, led by the high-end segment’s sharp fall in prices in H1 2016.
